3. A/C COOLING CYCLE

1) System flow
- "Compression -> Condensation -> Expansion -> Evaporation"
2) Functions

(1) Compressor

- Condition: Gas
- Function: Circulates the refrigerant and increases the pressure and temperature for easier
evaporation.

(2) Condenser

- Condition: Gas/Liquid
- Function: Cools and condenses the refrigerant by using ambient air to liquefy it under high pressure.

(3) Receiver drier

- Condition: Gas/Liquid
- Function: Keeps the refrigerant free from moisture by separating/collecting the moisture from it.
(4) Expansion valve
- Condition: Liquid/Liquefied gas
- Function: Performs adiabatic expansion and flow control for easier evaporation.
(5) Evaporator
- Condition: Liquefied gas/Gas
- Function: Cools the air by absorbing the heat from the air around the evaporator.
